Literacy/ Communication and language
Children read and understand simple sentences. They
use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and
read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. They demonstrate understanding
when talking with others about what they have read
Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in
ways which match their spoken sounds. They also
write some irregular common words. They write simple
sentences which can be read by themselves and others
Personal, social, emotional development/ Communication and language

Maths
Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20,
place them in order and say which number is one more
or one less than a given number. Using quantities and
objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They
solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing
Children use everyday language to talk about size,
weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money
to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems
They recognise, create and describe patterns. They
explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes
and use mathematical language to describe them
Expressive arts and design
Understanding of the world
Children talk about past and present events in their own lives and
in the lives of family members. They know that other children don’t
always enjoy the same things, and are sensitive to this. They know
about similarities and differences between themselves and others,
and among families, communities and traditions
Children know about similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things. They talk about the features
of their own immediate environment and how environments might
vary from one another. They make observations of animals and
plants and explain why some things occur, and talk about
changes
Children sing songs, make music and dance, and experiment with ways of changing them. They safely use and
explore a variety of materials, tools and techniques,
experimenting with colour, design, texture, form and
function
Children use what they have learnt about media and
materials in original ways, thinking about uses and purposes. They represent their own ideas, thoughts and
feelings through design and technology, art, music,
